CHILDREN'S HEART REPAIR
For some years now, Dharma Trading Co. has been funding open-heart surgeries for children in Bolivia. We do this in partnership with Solidarity Bridge. The children are from very poor indigenous families who do not have any hope of paying for these costly operations. Many of the children would not survive without the corrective surgery and many others could not lead normal lives.
It is through the efforts
of the Dharma staff and the support of our customers that we have the good
fortune to be able to help these children.
